A New Love…

Sinfully Nutritious

Frozen fudgy goodness. This recipe was adapted from Stuft Mama’s 3 ingredient fudge. I made the 3 ingredient fudge, which was really good. The recipe was 1/2 banana frozen, 2 tbsp. raw cacao powder and 2 tbsp. peanut butter all blended together and then frozen. So easy, so good, then I thought, wow, I could take this from really good to over the top. And I did. My version tastes like a Chunky Bar…remember those?

Okay, so here goes:

1.5 bananas (frozen, thawed or fresh)

6 tbsp. Unsweetened Unsalted Almond Butter

4 tbsp. Raw Cacao Powder

1 scoop (about 2tbsp) chocolate soy protein powder

1/4 chopped raw almonds

1/4 raisins

2 tbsp. chia seeds

1/4 cup unsweetened dried coconut flakes

My Method:

Place banana, almond butter, cacao, and protein into blender or small food processor. Blend until smooth. Stir in, by hand, chopped almonds, raisins, chia seeds and dried coconut. I used silicone regular sizeheart muffin cups, you can line cupcake pans with paper, or used anything you know you can pop out of the freezer into a whole piece. The silicone work great!!!!! Fill them 1/3 full, and place cups on a tray or baking sheet. Once they are all filled, pop them into the freezer fpr a few hours until they are firm. When they are firm you can take them out and put them into a freezer bag. I kept mine in the silicone, but it is not necessary.

These are big, fudgy, decadent tasting treats that are truly sinfully nutritious. I will warn you, you must eat them frozen, they melt quick. These could be made into fudge pops too. The possibilities are endless. I am going to try making mini bites in silicone ice cube trays or candy molds next time for tiny treat. I eat one of these through out the day. I bite after each meal! These are a perfect treat and are healthy candy alternative that are even packed with superfoods! I really hope you give these a try. Let me know how you like them!
